These Sides Were Made for Summer


Hey Reader!

Summer dinners are all about the sides, whether you're dining at your kitchen table, in your backyard or are packing up and headed to a cookout.

Summer ushers in all the best produce — tomatoes, watermelon, cucumbers, and corn — and we see no reason not to toss those into pasta and potato salads, on crisp green salad, or grill them up!

Easy Summer Sides

Spicy Cucumber Tomato Salad

Loaded with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and creamy feta cheese tossed in a spicy, herb-packed dressing.

Deviled Egg Pasta Salad

The perfect combination of deviled eggs, macaroni, and smokey bacon tossed in a creamy dressing takes pasta salad to a delicious new level!

Pineapple Coleslaw

This summer favorite is ready in a snap, and is great as a side, or piled high on pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.

Pesto Pasta Salad

Tender pasta, juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil all tossed in a “short-cut” pesto sauce make a salad that is seriously delicious!

Pineapple BBQ Baked Beans

With sweet pineapple, brown sugar, honey, a touch of spice, and topped with crispy bacon, these will be the first to disappear from the table.

Watermelon Salad With Feta

The salty, crumbly feta cheese perfectly balances the sweet, juicy watermelon, and the red onion gives it just the right amount of crunch.

Green Bean and Potato Salad

Baby red potatoes and crisp-tender haricots verts tossed in a lemon dill vinaigrette with Dijon, shallot, and white wine vinegar.

Air Fryer Corn On The Cob

This irresistibly delicious corn on the cob is crispy on the outside, tender, and sweet on the inside, with a grilled taste you’ll love!
